Lucian K. Truscott IV

Lucian K. Truscott IV is a screenwriter and journalist who followed the 101st Airborne Division at the beginning of the Iraq War. Truscott also wrote the introduction to Jefferson’s Children, the Story of One American Family, by Shannon Lanier (a descendant of Sally Hemings) and Jane Feldman. The fascinating compilation of photographs—some of which accompany this article—and commentary by Jefferson’s descendants focuses on an issue that has entered into the larger American conversation.
